This change has been coming for years, if people aren't ready now they wont be in four months. It'll take actually losing their signal for some people to wake up to the fact that they need to make the change. I bought my tv in early 2005 and one of the considerations when I bought it was making sure it had a digital tuner in anticipation of the transition. I have cable but I use the digital over the air signal for watching network broadcasts for the improved picture. The only problem is the stations around here are not broadcasting digital at full power until the analog signal is turned off. There are only two channels I watch, the Fox and NBC affiliates and I have to adjust my antenna whenever I change the channel. I expect once they begin broadcasting at full power I wont have to deal with it, and I'm annoyed that I have to wait longer now.
